Argentina: Following the bloodiest war the world had ever seen it was
Argentina that became home to thousands of fleeing Nazis and Italians
facing punishment for the atrocities committed. Under President Juan
Perón, who was a vocal admirer of European fascism Argentine
become the country that actively welcomed former Storm trooper
officers as well as scientists and collaborators to the Nazi Regime. Men
such as Adolf Eichmann the engine behind the Holocaust managed to
escape to Argentina, where they survived and thrived for several years
before their detection. Given the well-developed ratline system
featuring safe houses, forged documents and sympathetic officials it is
not beyond the realm of possibility
that a high-profile fugitive like Hitler would employ the same route.
The infrastructure for his escape undeniably existed.
Eyewitness Accounts and FBI Files Declassified FBI documents give
surprising but credible corroboration to this theory. Reports
from 1945 to 1947 show the alleged sightings of Hitler in Argentina
usually in rural or mountainous areas. This would make sense as in
Hitler's autobiography Mein Kampf he himself stated if one day he
retired, he would like to do so in a peaceful area away from the
cities. One FBI informant even claimed that a German submarine
landed on the Argentine coast shortly before Germany's surrender
delivering a mysterious "Nazi official" and several crates of goodies.
Locals later described a tall, mustached man living in seclusion at a
mansion. Without hard evidence, these testimonies do little more than
persistently raise questions that historians can't quite dismiss.
